Been using these bags from a famous Swedish furniture company for all sorts of things around the boat, from outboard cover, rope tote to sail bag. At the price it doesn't matter if they only last a season (most last much longer).

There larger bag they sell at the checkout (I think $0.75 or so it has been a while) make the best laundry baskets as well! And they fold up small.

A sea chest. They've been practical for generations. Though small boats don't have the room, smaller custom-sized ones can make useful steps for too-high bunks and add storage. Just build it from scraps. I was going to paint it, which is more traditional, but my wife told me not to.

Ahhh..yes...that was my first step toward climatizing my boat. The second step was an on-the-floor- Soleus air conditioner from Home Depot. The third and final step was buying a Mermaid AC unit and installing it. Save yourself some misery and buy a Mermaid (or other brand) now!!!!!

I, myself, personally intend to continue being outspoken and opinionated, intolerant of all fanatics, fools and ignoramuses, deeply suspicious of all those who have "found the answer" and on my bad days, downright rude.
